Is it permissible to use legos as building materials for our mouse trap cars?
Posted by: BAILEY in UncategorizedTeams may use ‘some’ Legos for parts of their devices (cars), but most of each device should not be made of Legos (or any building kit system), since one goal of “Mind A-Mazes” is to have teams find and use everyday objects for their devices. Teams should focus on using materials they find or make them out of a variety of materials (cardboard, wood, plastic, glue, etc.).
*Judges will notice any devices made largely out of a manufactured kit (like Legos) and may have to disqualify a team in that situation. For example, if you use Legos just for some wheels or axles, or just for some part of the device body, that would be fine, but don’t make MOST of your device out of Legos, as it could very well not be scored by judges! If you’re unsure about what ‘most’ could be, play it safe and use a variety of different building materials for your device.
